Auto Meter Gauges & Pillar Pod Installation - Pillar Of Information

The air/fuel meter contained a wide-band O2 sensor that was installed in this bung upstream of the O2 sensor that the ECM reads. This gauge was planned in the build, so Magnaflow included the extra bung in its exhaust.

To get the wires into the engine bay through a grommet, the plugs were cut off. Once they were in position the plugs were soldered back on. That's why Richard labeled both ends.

Richard gave the wiring a finishing touch by shrink-wrapping the expandable sheathing onto the end of the wire.

The 2-BAR MAP sensor plugs into the vacuum/boost gauge and uses a "T" fitting to plumb into a vacuum line.

Here's the sending unit for the fuel pressure gauge. It screwed into the fuel rail to get fuel pressure readings at the injector.

A Dremel tool was used to cut the factory A-pillar trim to accept the gauge wiring.

Thin double-sided trim tape secured the Auto Meter A-pillar pod onto the factory trim.

Richard used a bit of high-melt hot glue at the top of the pillar trim to sandwich them together before they were locked into position and the gauges were inserted.

It took a bit of pressure to get the gauges to seat into the pods. There's no way they're falling out.
